Here, thanks to Mrs. Trunk,

Here, thanks to Mrs. Trunk, is Ann Coulter on the subject of Democratic nostalgia for Strom Thurmond’s pro-Soviet 1948 opponent, Henry Wallace. Coulter’s piece nicely supplements the one I posted yesterday by historian Arthur Herman. We can now add Ted Kennedy’s name to the list of those who regard the Stalinist sympathizer as a noble “American Dreamer.” On a personal note, I would like to add my late trade-unionist father to the all-too-short list of leftists who, as staunch anti-Communists, regarded Wallace’s 1948 campaign with nothing but contempt.
